THE WATER
The water is a critical factor in the taste of your brewed coffee. Filtered water is
normally the best choice to help avoid the minerals and chlorine that can be found in
municipal water systems. However if your water tastes good then it should be good for
four coffee.
Never pour milk, prepared coffee, tea, etc. into a water tank (a).
THE GRIND
The method of grinding and the level of fineness of the grind have a significant impact
on the resulting taste of the brewed coffee. Ideally you should grind fresh roasted
whole beans just before brewing. Be aware that this machine is set to brew the most
common grinds found on store shelves. Typically pre-ground coffees are of a similar
size, medium-coarse. A very fine grind will produce much stronger flavors but risks
becoming extracted during the brew cycle producing a more bitter taste. You can learn
more about coffee grinding and about Krups range of grinders at our website
